The halogen bond occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an
electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic …

The triel bond may be defined as the interaction of the atom of 13th group that acts as the
Lewis acid centre with the electron rich site of the species playing a role of the Lewis base …

We carried out an extensive survey of wave function and DFT methods to test their accuracy
on geometries and dissociation energies of halogen bonds (XB). For that purpose, we built …

A sister noncovalent bond to halogen bond, termed chalcogen bond, is defined in this
article. By selecting the complexes H2CS··· Cl−, F2CS··· Cl−, OCS··· Cl−, and SCS··· Cl− as …

Although recognized in small molecules for quite some time, the implications of halogen
bonding in biomolecular systems are only now coming to light. In this study, several systems …

Chlorine‐based batteries with Cl0 to Cl− redox reaction (ClRR) are promising for high‐
performance energystorage due to their high redox potential and large theoretical capacity …

Halogenation is an important approach in lead optimization for drug development and about
half of the molecules used in high-throughput screening are halogenated. However, there is …

When R is sufficiently electron withdrawing, the fluorine in the R F molecules could interact
with electron donors (eg, ammonia) and form a noncovalent bond (F⋅⋅⋅ N). Although these …

Rh-catalyzed C–H insertion reactions to form β-lactones suffer from post-transition state
bifurcations, with the same transition states leading to ketones and ketenes via …

The fundamental underpinnings of noncovalent bonds are presented, focusing on the σ-hole
interactions that are closely related to the H-bond. Different means of assessing their …
